Bass 15"-16" will easily eat 8" long YP because YP are slender bodied and live near the bottom where bass frequently hunt. YP also become sedentary or "couch potatoes" at dusk and LMB hunt well in low light conditions.
Great post Bill! I read that comment above and thought a smilar statement might hold true for RES, but it would read like this:
RES 8"-9" will easily eat 2-1/2" long YP because YP are slender bodied and live near the bottom where RES frequently hunt. YP also become sedentary or "couch potatoes" at dusk and RES hunt well in low light conditions.
